Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Edition

Product Information

I really wanted to find a way to enjoy my time playing Monster Hunter Rise while in handheld mode, but controlling the game with the Joy-Cons wasn’t it. The Hori Split Pad Pro turned out to be the solution I was looking for. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. What you get for the added heft is a duo of controllers that mimic the proportions of a Pro Controller, except that they’re hanging off the sides of your Switch. (Despite their larger footprint, these controllers don’t have batteries, so they have to stay tethered to your console.) The Pro Controller includes many of the great features found in the Joy-Con Controllers: motion controls, HD rumble, built-in amiibo functionality and more. The primary difference in the controls is that while the directional controls on the Joy-Con (L) are made up of different buttons, the Pro Controller has a single + Control Pad, similar to previous systems.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is out now on Nintendo Switch, with a fancy Collector's Edition, a brand new set of Monster Hunter amiibo, and a special new Monster Hunter-themed Pro Controller all available, too. While there aren't many special edition designs for these Nintendo Switch controllers yet, some pretty cool ones are available, and we hope to see more in the future. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is really just about the best controller you can use for your Switch, as we note in our review. However, cool designs and colors really add to the appeal!This larger pair of controllers made the joy of Monster Hunter feel more accessible at any time. With it, I don’t have to compromise portability for playability. I can comfortably and confidently play the game in handheld mode without an awkward grip. The Split Pad Pro feels close to the experience I get with the Pro Controller, but I get to keep the Switch in my hands.

However, some games disrupt that magic, and the game that shattered the illusion for me was Monster Hunter Rise. When I first attached them to my Switch, I felt like I may have made a mistake. I wasn’t sure if the bulkier size was worth the possibility of a more comfortable experience. Within minutes, those fears melted away. I love my large son. Is the Hori Split Pad Pro worth it? Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is most certainly a Nintendo Switch title you do not really want to be playing on Joy-Cons regardless of who your main fighter is. The competitive nature of fighting games and the speed of inputs necessary to be the best definitely complement the Nintendo Switch Pro controller so of course Nintendo brought out a limited edition controller for the game.Another Monster Hunter controller this time launching alongside the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Expansion. This is the only Nintendo Switch Pro Controller that was released alongside a DLC as opposed to a full game, however, the amount of content in a Monster Hunter expansion usually rivals any regular title release. I am curious whether these larger controllers will impact the way in which I I travel with the Switch — when traveling safely becomes a thing we can do again.

For a sense of scale, each half of Hori’s creation is roughly the size of two Joy-Cons sitting side-by-side. Detached from the console and placed near a Pro Controller, they’re nearly the same size. The gamepads are also just as wide as the Switch itself. While the Split Pad Pro is large, it’s very comfortable Photo: Jeff Ramos/Polygon Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Limited Edition - Side image of Controller The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller contains 2 linear resonant actuators, each with independent HD Rumble capabilities, creating a similar effect as with the Joy-Con Controllers. The HD rumble function included in the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller creates an immersive gameplay experience that isn’t possible with images and sounds alone. My solution to making Rise feel just as good in my hands as it does paired with my big TV and a Pro Controller is an equally large set of controllers: The Hori Split Pad Pro.
